Another Quick Take on the Matrix

There wasn’t really anywhere to mention this in my earlier screed on the Matrix, but check out the NYTimes article on the philosophy of the Matrix movies. Or forget the article, which is only “non-specialist reporter good”, not “real insight about the movie good”, and check out the picture. Captioned “Keanu Reeves portrays Neo in a scene from ‘The Matrix Reloaded,’” the image shows not Keanu Reeves, but the computerized simulacrum of Keanu Reeves created for the entirely computer-generated “Burly Brawl”. Life imitates art, indeed.
